I always use my left arm. My right arm is primary so I don't want it sore!

I trust science and believe in vaccination so that is my position here.

Most people get more inflammation on an ongoing basis from the foods they eat and the lifestyle they live. Pizza, beer, no exercise, BMI above 35, but they're worried about a vaccine. LOL.

I'm not worried about which needle goes into what arm.
I posted a few weeks ago a link on which arm https://www.city-data.com/forum/heal...d-vaccine.html

We also got COVID and Flu vaccines at same time last year. And we got the old bivalent COVID booster and RSV vaccines at the same time last month. (There is some effect of the Omicron variant vaccine against most, not all, circulating variants right now)

If the new bivalent vaccine is available in November when we get our annual flu shots, we'll get both at same time

Some vaccines can be given at the same time, some cannot. And, sorry, it's been a while since I took the vaccination course and I can't remember off the top of my head which

I doubt if it matters which arm/shoulder. I've gotten all the shots in both shoulders and I haven't caught the covid yet.

I always opt for vaccines to go in my left arm because it's my non-dominant side. I tend to experience soreness post vaccine & I don't want it to affect my dominant arm.

2 good reasons to get the COVID shot...
1...It's free.
2...It could save your life.

I have gotten every Covid shot as it became available and boosters. The last booster was delayed by my having asymptomatic Covid last year, September 2 - 14. I suspect strongly that the fact that I was vaccinated and boosted "to the nines" made the Covid asymptomatic. I suspect I had Covid in February 2020 where for three days I felt awful, and then had a bad smell in my nose for about a month. At no time did I think my life was in danger.

Oh it's a thing allright.

BTW, people keep calling that shot a vaccine. A true vaccine takes 10+ years of lab, trials, more trials, more trials, and more trials...

A shot takes, well, a few weeks and look at the payout.

I was once tempted to get the covid shot. But common sense took hold of me and that temptation went away.

Ignorance is getting a shot because you are told to.

And how did they come up with an RSV vaccine so quickly?

Biden said the booster should be given in the "correct" arm. WTH does that mean?
